Will McCain Campaign with Bush?

[Summerof79]

Do you think that McCain will use Bush in any shape or formin the general campaign? It end to think that McCain will use Bush at conservative closed door events where Bushcan use his influenceamong conservatives but not be seen by the public standing beside McCain. What sort of role if any do you see president Bush having for the GOP in the general this year? WIll his work be private as I contend or do you think he will be used to rally the conservatives and be seen publicly along side McCain on the campaign trail?

I don't honestly know if within the GOP Bush is still actully a net positive? He seems to be still among the social conservativesbut wondering about how others view the situation.

If McCain or Bush have a lick of sense, Bush will stay on the sidelines except maybe for fundraising purposes, and will make an appearance at the convention.

that's sort of what i see Dog N duck- But i wonder if the need for conservative support makes Bush perhaps a necessary evilin trying to drum upsupport from that group?

I think it's the sidelines though....

I think will use GWB for fundraising - and GWB STILL brings in the $$$ - AND he will do some closed door campaigning (which always means fundraising, too)...

He should keep GWB at arm's length, but use the fact that GWB can help him to raise tons of money....

I'm STILL baffled why Gore didn't use WJC more...he would have helped him tremendously, especially in the $$$ raising...

He sure will. Meanwhile, Cheney will do his part by breaking out his 12 gauge on random undecided independents. Kevin Bacon may even play a role, standing on street corner in uniform shouting "ALL IS WELL!!!".

If they do campaign together, we will find out if what a life long Republican buddy of mine said recently, "we always thought that McCain was a great guy. Now we find out that he is a total fraud who has only been keeping Goldwaters chair warm". She said this about a week after McCain made his pilgramige to suck farts out of Jerry Fallwell's ***.

If Bush does campaign for McCain, I hope he wears his flight suit.
